Family China: Monks, Pandas, and the Terracotta Army

11 days
(02)
(01)
On this journey, you’ll see many faces of the Middle Kingdom: watch the acrobatic ERA2 show in Shanghai, observe pandas in the bamboo groves of Chengdu, walk the ancient city wall of Xi’an, sculpt a terracotta warrior, ride a rickshaw through the hutongs of Beijing, and soar by helicopter above the Great Wall of China.
China is a country impossible to grasp at a glance. Everything here exists both on a grand scale and in exquisite detail: megacities of the Silk Road, majestic tea hills, and ancient walls you can still walk or cycle along today.
